nirenjan 339df2751d Update hid-saitek-x52 module to use default kernel mapping 
Prior to this change, the kernel module was using a customized mapping.
This causes issues between users who rely on the mapping not changing
between the no-module and with-module cases.

This change updates the kernel module to report in the exact same
fashion as the default kernel, without any remapping. While this does
mean that the buttons on the X52 and X52 Pro would report different
values, a userspace daemon can always use libx52io to get the button
mapping regardless of which device is plugged in.

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux

Build/Test Kernel Module CodeQL

This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.

Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.

Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.

Note: This repository currently only provides commandline interfaces to control the MFD and LEDs. If you are not comfortable working in the commandline, then the gx52 project might be a better fit for your needs as it provides a graphical interface to control the MFD and LEDs.
